Lactococcus lactis produces short-chain quinones that cross-feed Group B Streptococcus to activate respiration growth.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Mar 2008

Abstract excerpt

Quinones are essential components of the respiration chain that shuttle electrons between oxidoreductases. We characterized the quinones synthesized by Lactococcus lactis, a fermenting bacterium that activates aerobic respiration when a haem source is provided. Two distinct subgroups were characterized: Menaquinones (MK) MK-8 to MK-10, considered as hallmarks of L. lactis, are produced throughout growth. MK-3 and...
